Various spectral notions have been employed to grasp the structure and the long-range order of point sets, in particular non-periodic ones. In this article, we present them in a unified setting and explain the relations between them. For the sake of readability, we use Delone sets in Euclidean space as our main object class, and present generalisations in the form of further examples and remarks.
This is an expository article containing a brief overview of key issues related to the stability of nonlinear waves, an introduction to a particular technique in stability analysis known as pointwise estimates, and two applications of this technique: time-periodic shocks in viscous conservation laws [
The theory of complex dimensions of fractal strings developed by Lapidus and van Frankenhuijsen has proven to be a powerful tool for the study of Minkowski measurability of fractal subsets of the real line. In a very general setting, the Minkowski measurability of such sets is characterized by the structure of corresponding complex dimensions. Also, this tool is particularly effective in the setting of self-similar fractal subsets of
We consider a class of step skew product systems of interval diffeomorphisms over shift operators, as a means to study random compositions of interval diffeomorphisms. The class is chosen to present in a simplified setting intriguing phenomena of intermingled basins, master-slave synchronization and on-off intermittency. We provide a self-contained discussion of these phenomena.
We study bifurcations of periodic orbits in three parameter general unfoldings of certain types quadratic homoclinic tangencies to saddle fixed points. We apply the rescaling technique to first return (Poincaré) maps and show that the rescaled maps can be brought to a map asymptotically close to the 3D Henon map
We show that the ‘erasing-larger-loops-first’ (ELLF) method, which was first introduced for erasing loops from the simple random walk on the Sierpiński gasket, does work also for non-Markov random walks, in particular, self-repelling walks to construct a new family of self-avoiding walks on the Sierpiński gasket. The one-parameter family constructed in this method continuously connects the loop-erased random walk and a self-avoiding walk which has the same asymptotic behavior as the ‘standard’ self-avoiding walk. We prove the existence of the scaling limit and study some path properties: The exponent
Skew product systems with monotone one-dimensional fibre maps driven by piecewise expanding Markov interval maps may show the phenomenon of intermingled basins [
We prove a complex Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius theorem for Markov shifts over an infinite alphabet, whence extending results by M. Pollicott from the finite to the infinite alphabet setting. As an application we obtain an extension of renewal theory in symbolic dynamics, as developed by S. P. Lalley and in the sequel generalised by the second author, now covering the infinite alphabet case.
In this paper we first give a survey of known results on the derivative of slippery Devil's staircase functions, that is, functions that are singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure and strictly increasing. The best known example of such a function is the Minkowski question-mark function, which was proved to be singular by Salem, in a paper which introduced some other constructions of singular functions. We describe all of these examples. Also we consider various generalisations of the Minkowski question-mark function, such as $α$-Farey-Minkowski functions. These examples all arise from one-dimensional dynamics. A few open questions and suggestions for filling minor gaps in the literature are proposed. Finally, we go back to ordinary Devil's staircases (i.e. non-decreasing singular functions) and discuss work done in that setting with the more general Hölder derivatives, and consider the outlook to extend those results to the strictly increasing situation.
We introduce notions of topological pressure for measurable potentials and prove corresponding variational principles. The formalism is then used to establish a Bowen formula for the Hausdorff dimension of cookie-cutters with discontinuous geometric potentials.
